    Just had a call from an agent in India talking about a permie role somewhere, doing something or other, don't know what, because I didn't really understand much of what she was saying.

    Looke out agents; you're being outsourced!

    Will almost certainly have been fromTech Mahindra. It will have been a pump and dump gig. They get you in for three months, pump you for knowledge transfer to their off shore guys and then dump you so they can replace you with the cheap guys you just brought up to speed. When it all goes tits up they blame the external contractors for not properly documenting what they did.
